HyperCard was a nifty scriptable application that allowed you to make your own programs. It was relatively easy to learn how to use, and pretty flexible. There were a lot of educational programs written in HyperCard that made use of the card-stack interface as a way to produce tests and quizzes. It was also useful for making sequential and branching narratives--I mean, you could make up a story and at some point the student/player would have to make a decision about what would happen in a particular scene, and that decision would lead to a branch in the narrative, and then to further branches. Sort of like a hypertext story, but with the possibility of embedding images, films, etc. into each "card." I remember one app that I used from time to time that allowed students to construct dramatic scenarios which they could then animate. It was neat, although probably superceded by other apps. Still, some people swear that HyperCard was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and hate Apple for stopping development of the app (even though Apple still sells it, by the way).<br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"<br>
